D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) to Receive $1.5M Grant Through NSF Project to Strengthen US Quantum Computing Leadership

About this update from D-wave Quantum Inc.

LOS ANGELES, CA - July 7, 2026 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) ("D-Wave" or the "Company"), the only dual-platform quantum computing company providing both annealing and gate-model systems, software and services, announced it has been selected to receive a $1,566,250 grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) through the agency's National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL) program. The funding will support D-Wave's role as a key industry partner in ERASE (Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage) – a project focused on developing foundational technologies for fault-tolerant quantum computing and strengthening U.S. leadership in quantum innovation. Led by Yale University, the ERASE project brings together researchers from leading academic institutions and industry organizations to advance dual-rail gate-model quantum computing hardware, software, error correction, and applications. D-Wave, through its New-Haven, Connecticut-based subsidiary Quantum Circuits, LLC, will give ERASE researchers access to its superconducting dual-rail gate-model quantum computing resources. The award moves ERASE into the second phase of the NQVL program and underscores the NSF's continued support for the project's approach to scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing. "NSF's continued support for the ERASE project highlights the national importance of accelerating progress toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing," said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. "We believe that D-Wave's dual-rail technology can play a meaningful role in that effort, while building the technical foundation and skilled workforce needed to sustain U.S. leadership in quantum computing."
